Description
Robert Duncan’s profound appeal as a writer, and as a mentor to very different kinds of poets, suggests the vigour, various charm and scope of his work. He is certainly a poet aware – in his themes and his expansive techniques – of his radical creative role. “Selected Poems” is an introduction to his work from early pieces through the final “Ground Work” collections. His serial poems “Structures of Rime” and “Passages”, composed over 25 years, are represented too.
